A Challenging Start to 2010

The terrible earthquake that shook Haiti has caused enormous loss of life, as well as an expensive and long-term rebuilding plan for that country. Scotiabank has 85 employees in Haiti and we are thankful they are all safe and accounted for. This is a very difficult time for them and their families. Our thoughts are with the people of Haiti who have been affected by this catastrophic event. Canada should hold its head high, claiming the highest per capita donations to aid in the relief effort. I am proud to point out that on a local level, my Rotary club has been able to affect the provision of at least 20 shelterboxes to Haitian families. For more information, log on to www.shelterbox.ca
